NAME

       mia-3dnonrigidreg-alt - Non-linear registration of 3D images.

SYNOPSIS

       mia-3dnonrigidreg-alt -o <out-transform> [options] <PLUGINS:3dimage/fullcost>

DESCRIPTION

       mia-3dnonrigidreg-alt  This  program runs a non-rigid registration based on the given cost
       criteria and a given transformation model. Other than mia-3dnonrigidreg it doesn't support
       specific  command  line parameters to provide the images. Instead the images are specified
       dirctly when defining the cost function. Hence, image registrations can be  executed  that
       optimize  the  aligmnet of  more than one image pair at the same time. Note, however, that
       all input images must be of the same dimension (in pixels)

EXAMPLE

       Register  image  test.v to image ref.v by using a spline transformation with a coefficient
       rate of 5  and write the registered image to reg.v. Use two multiresolution levels, ssd as
       image cost function and divcurl weighted by 10.0 as transformation smoothness penalty. The
       resulting transformation is saved in reg.vf.

       mia-3dnonrigidreg-alt -o reg.vf -l 2 -f spline:rate=3  image:cost=ssd,src=test.v,ref=ref.v
              divcurl:weight=10
